some games are fucking shitting wrong colors randomly everywhere (Age of Empires 2, Cossacks: European Wars) when they worked fucking fine in XP with directx 8

but windows 7 (and vista, i've googled the age of empires thing, there's about 10 billion fucking people with the same problem and no fix) and its fucking shit directx 9 gives me red grass and purple fucking water

how do i force directx 8? duck told me to use rivatuner but I have no fucking clue how to.

New games work, the old games worked on XP. In fact, my specs are better than the recommended AoE specs.
Sounds like you're just retarded then.

Same problem as me.
Doesn't Windows 7 actually let you run shit in an XP shell or something?  Try that?
Yeah, 7 is supposed to have some amazing backasswards compatability mode.  Either way I think when I get my next comp, I'm gonna dual bbot 7 and XP.

Compatibility mode, jesus christ 7 should auto uninstall.

Make it run in Windows XP mode.

Nevermind, I just installed XP. I'll wait a bit until geniuses make fixes for these things.
